The flatline scream filled Victoria's office.

Serena's hands went numb. The tablet slipped from her fingers and clattered onto the black desk. On the screen, Adam's heart line was flat. Straight. No beep. No rise.

"No," she whispered. "No no no

Julian was already on his radio, shouting. "Vault B, respond! What happened to Adam Crestwood?! His monitor just flatlined! I need eyes on him now!"

Static. Then Marcus's voice, panting, panicked. "Boss! He stood up! He ripped the IV out! He said he had

  • THE SILENT LUNA’S REVENGE   THE OTHER TANK

    Victoria's crying didn't sound human.It was quiet. Small. Like a child caught lying. Her shoulders shook under the grey blanket, cuffed hands still covering her face. The woman who froze ten people, who built an empire on ice, was crying over a piece of paper.Serena held the birth certificate tighter. The paper was damp from her father's wet hands, ink slightly smudged, but the words were clear.*Natural Birth.*Adam was still standing barefoot, his hospital gown dripping on Victoria's rug. He was swaying a little — fifteen years frozen, heart restarting, then running barefoot across the Tower — his body was giving up.Serena caught him. "Dad, you need to sit.""I can't sit," he whispered, but he let Julian pull a chair for him. He sat heavily, still holding Serena's hand.Julian knelt beside them and pressed his radio again. "Marcus, bring the medical team to Victoria's office. Adam needs oxygen. Now."Marcus's voice came back, breathless. "On the way, boss. But boss... you need to

We tried to stop him—"The door to the office burst open.Adam Crestwood stood there.Barefoot. Wet hospital gown clinging to his thin body. Hair still damp, dripping onto the floor. An oxygen tube hanging loose around his neck, not on his face. Two soldiers behind him trying to hold his arms but not daring to hurt him.He was breathing. Hard. Chest heaving. Eyes wild, looking for one person."Serena!"Serena ran. She crossed the room in three steps and crashed into him. She hugg

  • THE SILENT LUNA’S REVENGE   THE INTERROGATION

    The interrogation room in Vance Tower was not a police room.It was Victoria's old office. Glass walls. Black desk. One chair bolted to the floor.Victoria sat in it, hands still cuffed, white coat gone, now wearing a grey prison blanket. Her lipstick was finally smudged. She looked smaller without her fur coat, but her eyes were still sharp.Julian stood by the window, back to her. Zhao Li stood by the door, arms crossed. A camera in the corner blinked red.On the table between them was a tablet playing Serena's monitor feed from Vault B — Adam's heart rate, steady. Beep. Beep. Beep.Victoria stared at it and smiled."He's alive. My first subject lives. You should be thanking me, Julian."Julian didn't turn. "You froze ten people. Three died tonight because of your failsafe.""Three failures," she said calmly. "They were going to die anyway. Their cells were weak. Not like Luna. Not like her.""Her name is Serena," Julian said, his voice low."Serena is a name Adam gave her to make h

  • THE SILENT LUNA’S REVENGE   LUNA

    The SUV ride back from the airstrip was silent. Victoria Vance sat in the back seat, hands cuffed in front of her, white coat stained with dirt from the tarmac. She wasn't crying anymore. She was staring out the window at the pine trees blurring past. Her son Ethan was in the other SUV, alone. Julian sat opposite her, gun on his lap, phone buzzing nonstop. Zhao Li was driving fast. "You should have let me go, Julian," Victoria said quietly, not looking at him. "Serena doesn't know what her father is. Adam was not the saint she thinks he was." Julian didn't look up from his phone. "Save it for interrogation." "You think you won because you thawed him?" She laughed, a dry laugh. "Project Luna was not about saving lives. It was about creating them. Ask Director Zhao. He knows." Julian finally looked at her. "What do you mean creating them?" Victoria turned and smiled. Her lipstick was still perfect. "Serena was never born, Julian. She was made." --- Vault B was no longer cold.

  • THE SILENT LUNA’S REVENGE   THE AIRSTRIP

    The wet floor of Vault B was covered in blankets, wires, and breathing. Seven monitors beeping. Seven chests rising and falling. Three still flat, doctors still working. Serena didn't see any of that. She was on the floor, her father's head in her lap, her arms locked around him. Adam Crestwood was shivering so hard his teeth clacked. His eyes were open now, blue and confused, trying to focus on her face. He lifted a frozen hand again and touched her cheek. "You... you grew," he whispered, his voice like paper cracking. Serena sobbed and nodded. "You left me the key, Daddy. You left the key in the bear." Adam's eyes widened. A memory firing after fifteen years of ice. "The bear... Luna..." Julian was already standing. He put his black coat on. Water dripped from his sleeves. His palms were raw and red from the freezer burn. He looked at Serena once. He didn't want to leave her. But he knew Victoria could not be allowed to fly. "Marcus, you stay," he said quietly. "No one ent

  • THE SILENT LUNA’S REVENGE   BREATH

    White fog swallowed Vault B.It was so thick, so cold, you couldn't see your own hands. The temperature alarm screamed. The nitrogen tanks hissed like snakes above them.Ten emergency seals had been cracked at once.Julian's hands were frozen to the metal of Adam's freezer. The skin on his palms was burning. He didn't let go. He pulled.The glass door moved. Just an inch. Then another inch. Ice cracked inside like broken glass."Pull!" he roared.Serena was beside him, both hands on the same door, crying, pulling with everything she had. The fog was in her lungs. In her eyes. But she didn't stop.Behind them, ten soldiers were doing the same. Ten doors. Ten people inside.Marcus had freezer number four. He put his shoulder against it and pushed his whole body weight. "It's stuck! The ice is holding it!"Director Zhao was shouting, "Warm water! Pour warm water on the hinges! Now!"Medical team ran in with buckets of warm saline Dr. Chen told them to prepare. They poured it on the seals
